Outline of Final Research Achievements

Children and their pair characterized as moving freely according to their own selfish intention in the tag games saw the pair activity in math classes as a “scene to convey their thoughts.” Meanwhile, those who could move while paying attention to the position and movement of each other in order to achieve the task in the tag game regarded the pair activity in the math classes as a scene to share each other’s thoughts and engage in behaviors to listen to each other’s thoughts. This finding suggests that the sharing of intentions and coordination of actions with others is a common fundamental competence in both physical and cognitive tasks for solving the task at hand cooperatively.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

他者と意図を共有し行為を調整するという協調のために「相手に応じる」「役割を切り替える」スキルが身体的課題と認知的課題に共通し、かつ他者との協調の基盤に身体があることを考えると、小学校1年生から高校3年生まで唯一の必修教科である体育科が，人間特有とされる他者との協調的スキルの育成に向けて重要な機能を果たす可能性を有している。すなわち、先人が他者と感情や意図を共有し、尊重し合う中で文化や社会を発展や継承するという人間らしく生きることに向けて、体育科が他の教科や活動を支える「基盤教科」として位置づくと示したことが本研究の意義である。
